Seven senior (?) players unpaid the article doesn't say December or January,yet £140k over a month for seven players is £5k a week each for each player,just where is the money for this ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51070380

Article obviously updated as it's clear the December wages had not been paid.

It would seem that the budgets for the season were based on being much higher in the league with the increased attendances that would bring.

If they want to avoid administration, you could see a complete clear out of higher paid players and a difficult season or two ahead.
